Makers of the Indian version of ‘Citadel’, on Wednesday, officially announced that actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu is the female lead of the project.
Being created by Raj and DK, ‘Citadel’ also stars Varun Dhawan in the lead role.

Welcoming Samantha on board, Aparna Purohit, head of India Originals, Prime Video, said, “We are absolutely thrilled to be working with Samantha once again. She made her streaming debut with The Family Man Season Two, on Prime Video, and is one of the most talented artists in the industry today. We can’t wait for audiences to see her on-screen in a brand new avatar, along with Varun and the incredibly talented ensemble cast we have on board for this series.”

“The canvas for the Indian installment of Citadel is larger than life but the treatment and texture are retro, rooted, and quirky. The series is being shot extensively across India and international locales. With Raj & DK steering this ship and a terrifically talented cast, we are confident that the series will be nothing short of a spectacle,” Aparna added.
Samantha also shared the update on her social media.
She said, “When Prime Video and Raj and DK approached me with this project, I decided to take it up in a heartbeat! After working with this team on The Family Man, it is a homecoming for me. The Citadel universe, the interconnected storylines between the productions across the globe, and most importantly, the script of the Indian installment really excited me. I am thrilled to be a part of this brilliant universe conceptualized by the Russo Brothers’ AGBO. I am also looking forward to working on this project with Varun for the first time. He is someone who is full of life and cheer when you’re around him.”
Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK will also serve as executive producers, under their banner D2R Films. The series is produced by D2R Films and Amazon Studios, with AGBO’s Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Mike Larocca, Angela Russo-Otstot, Scott Nemes, and David Weil (Hunters) overseeing production on the Indian Original and all series within the global Citadel universe.
The international version of Citadel is created by the Russo Brothers and stars Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra in the lead roles. (ANI)
